Testimonials

Prior to taking Kristi’s workshop, I had the hardest time extracting and compositing images so they looked believable.It was always incredibly frustrating not being able to create what I see in my head.
Kristi’s additive composite technique changed the game and made the extraction struggle effortless and easy. I highly recommend Kristi, she was a game changer for my editing and business.

Emily

Kristi’s signature editing method is unlike anything I have ever seen and the results are consistently amazing. She has refined her editing  process to a point that it can be applied to any genre and create stunning art; and she shares EVERYTHING! There wasn’t a question she didn’t answer from the members of my class. She is patient, inclusive of everyone in the group, funny, thorough, thoughtful and makes you WORK!
 Her class is everything I look for in a workshop or learning experience and more. I can’t wait to do some
additional 1:1 training with her!

Molly

 My biggest challenge was creating composites that looked convincing.  I felt my photography work was nothing extraordinary.  But, after learning the techniques Kristi teaches, I was able to create my own style to the point my work now has its own unique identity.   Before taking Kristi’s class, I was struggling to merit images in the PPA  Competitions. I had become really discouraged after receiving several point scores of 79. After applying the techniques, I learned in the class, I begin to merit images on every IPC submission. Kristi taught me how to be more creative, be more intentional in my work flow and produce intriguing works of art I was proud of. Thanks to learning from Kristi I received my Master of Photography Degree.
